1000 Buddha

1000 Buddha (Shakyamuni Buddha ) is portrayed meditating in the middle of the canvas, holding an alms bowl in his left hand and his right palm touching the floor in the bhumisparsha mudra. This gesture symbolizes Buddha’s victory out over evil Mara, which he accomplished by praying to and summoning the soil goddess Bhudevi. The multiplication of Buddhas in the painting’s background symbolizes the universal nature of enlightenment.
